This site is taking an indefinite hiatus. I know… I know… shocker after over a year without an update right?
Feel free to contact me.
Be warned, geek-speak ahead…
I finally got around to upgrading to the latest version of WordPress (2.3.1) from 2.0.6. It was definitely a long overdue upgrade and I see great improvements to the administrative UI and also found a few useful plugins. I also changed the wordpress theme to this simple design that I found by googling from themes; it is named Black & White and you can download it directly from Blog Oh! Blog.
On here, I am a casual yet careful blogger. Some may even accuse me of being a liar by omission for this blog because I choose my words and diction delicately as possible when I type. There isn't just one reason; there are hundreds of small and big reasons. One of them that I freely admit is my personal loathing of drama and controversy. Another I admit (cautiously) is my dislike of attention by a group of people.
Agreeably, my dislike of attention is ironic seeing as how public this is but my response to that is that I am not blogging for you or anyone else specifically; I am blogging for myself. The most fun I have about this is when I read my own writing from years ago; it's like digging through and finding home videos and pictures taken of you when you were growing up, it's a personal goldmine. I also tend to remain very vague and include things that totally do not make any sense (no, the 3.14 there does not indicate GPA) to anyone but myself and it brings fond memories back and I'm chuckling at it right now as I type this. I also use strange metaphorical stories to try to explain what I may be going through. Yes, I agree it's childish yet it's because I don't like being open with anyone that I do not think genuinely cares.
So… I write a lot of posts that I do not 'publish' and therefore are invisible to prevent what I mentioned in the first paragraph. I decided to substitute all the specific information (while maintaining the integrity of my thoughts and real-life aspect of each entry) and post them at a separate site and blog. It won't be impossible to identify the other blog but highly improbable. If you find it, don't tell me. I will be more comfortable not knowing you know.
All aside from the fact that the title of this post is as geeky as it can get, as you could tell from the lack of updates, this site is going on an indefinite hiatus. Aside the job I am excited to start, I am currently working on a personal project which I have deferred for about… six years. It’s about time I start putting the billions of ideas I have put down on paper within the past six years into something tangible and concrete. I will be keeping a completely separate (and private) weblog regarding the progress of my project which hopefully I can merge into this to make my personal blog seamlessly in the future once I either run out of time or complete the project entirely.
E-mail and/or AIM me.
My server was migrated from The Planet datacenter into a Savvis data center in Dallas on 7/28.
I didn’t have too much time after the server was back up with its new IP addresses yesterday morning nor afternoon nor evening so I was able to make the proper config changes to get all my sites back up on this server at around 2AM this morning.
Obviously, if I was hosting something more uptime-dependent, then I probably would’ve taken the time to get it back up sooner but I had more important matters (like studying for a final exam) that I had to prioritize.
